Dear Maxine, Lydia, Paula and Lynnese, I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Freeman will always hold a special place in my heart-a truly beautiful soul. My life was blessed by her teaching both in and out of the classroom.

Dear Lydia-- I was so sorry to read about the "passing" of your Mom in today's Daily Record. I remember her as a substitute teacher when we were in classes at the "old" Powerville School, now our Municipal Building in Boonton Township. I remember a scene on the playground there when you and I were at the merry-go-round, and your Mom had a kind word to say to you.
I remember your Mom as a kind, compassionate, and smart woman. I am feeling your sadness and am mourning with you.
